Posted on: Stearns County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Stearns/11371 Surname: MICHELS, LINGER, THIEL, LANGER ------------------------- Josef, I am wondering if you may know of the MICHELS' line which originally settled in Belgium,Ozaukee County ?, WI, then moved to Thienesville, Washington County? WI and possibly to Jefferson, Jefferson County WI area... Eva MICHELS married Christian LINGER in Fussville..she was the daughter of George MICHELS and Anna Marie ???unk maiden name but may have been Thiel. I am in contact with another researcher who has a LANGER line which moved from Jefferson County to Stearns County, MN in about the same time period (!960-1880).. I would like to share some ideas and explore some possibilities with you, Susan [email protected]
